itrwrestling.comHere are the most recent updates being reported about the WWE/TKO (“WWE merger”) shareholder lawsuit (filed in Delaware Chancery) that challenges WWE’s 2023 merger with Endeavor (which formed TKO) on allegations tied to the company’s disclosure/discovery of evidence.
Latest developments (recent reporting)
- Discovery dispute over communications is still active: In mid-May 2026 reporting, WWE and former executives were back in Delaware Chancery Court as the fight continued over claims that certain Signal messages related to the merger were lost or destroyed during discovery.[3]
- Judge ordered WWE to turn over federal investigation records: A Delaware judge ordered WWE to produce records tied to investigations by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) into Vince McMahon, as part of the ongoing lawsuit challenging the TKO merger.[2]
- Litigation timing/document-production issues raised by plaintiffs: Earlier late-2025 coverage describes plaintiffs alleging the defendants are delaying the case—citing issues like document production timing and deposition scheduling—while the lawsuit works its way through discovery.[1]
